Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Wild Rice Soup

This slow cooker creamy chicken wild rice soup with no flour is a hit! My husband who has never been a big fan of creamy soups couldn’t stop eating this and enjoyed two bowls yesterday.

This slow cooker creamy chicken wild rice soup is made with simple seasoning blend. It’s a comforting, easy soup recipe that is perfect for those chilly, long days. It’s also something that can be prepared in the morning and be ready for you to dig into after a long day.

To make this creamy Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Wild Rice Soup, I used organic heavy cream, but no flour. I finely chopped and sautéed the mirepoix vegetables with butter before adding them into the slow cooker. This gives it a sweeter, heartier flavor. Mirepoix is a combination of aromatic vegetables for soups, stews, and braises that consists of chopped onions, celery, and carrots.

I poured in the wild rice blend about halfway through the cooking process for a harder texture (pouring in at the beginning is fine for a softer texture, which may entail adding a bit more broth). I love the harder texture that wild rice brings in every bite. Wild rice contains more protein, zinc, and potassium than both brown and white rice varieties. Possible the best component of my slow cooker creamy chicken wild rice soup is the wild rice itself.

Since wild rice comes in varieties of texture and brand, the length of cook time may affect the final result of this soup.

If you are worried about the rice getting too mushy by adding it at the beginning and don’t have time to add it midway through cooking, you can use pre-cooked rice and add it to the slow cooker about 10 minutes before serving.

Important note: If you are worried about the rice getting too mushy, you can use pre-cooked rice and add it to the slow cooker about 10 minutes before serving OR just use Uncle ben’s long grain and wild rice and add it at the last half hour of cooking.

I don’t eat chicken however, this looks divine!! I love all the flavours in it and I especially like how it is chunky yet not too chunky! My kids don’t actually like super chunky soups so I either process some of the ingredients, or remove them, chop them in finely then add them back to the soup.

This slow cooker creamy chicken wild rice soup sounds amazing and I am going to have to make it for sure.Soups or anything cooked in a slow cooker taste so much better in my opinion. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

It’s not recommended. Cream soups will get very thick after freezing and sometimes separate when you defrost and reheat them. If you have leftover cream soup, you can try reheat gently and add milk/cream until the desired consistency is reached.
